Kiengei’s church members’ demise

In a similar development, Jesus Compassion Ministries [JCM] founder Bishop Benson Kiengei was similarly thrown into mourning following the death of a long-serving church member shortly after the congregation helped build him a home.

In a heartfelt Facebook post shared on Friday, January 9, 2026, Bishop Kiengei announced the passing of Mr Njoroge, who died while receiving treatment at Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved brother in Christ, Mr Njoroge, was called home to be with the Lord on the 9th January 2026,” Kiengei wrote on Facebook.

The preacher revealed that Njoroge, fondly referred to as “Mzee Wetu” within the church, had been part of the JCM congregation for three years and was deeply loved by fellow worshippers and various church departments.

He noted that the late congregant was closely supported by the JCM Church Men Council, the welfare team, the Lord’s Store team, the medical department, and online members who stood with him throughout his illness.

“Mr Njoroge, as we referred to him at JCM CHURCH, was a cherished member of our congregation for three years and will be deeply missed by all who worshipped God together with him, the JCM Church Men Council, Welfare, the Lord Store team and the medical department who took care of him,” the bishop added.

Bishop Kiengei further shared that Mr Njoroge had been battling blood cancer for more than a decade, describing him as a fighter who refused to give up despite the long and painful journey.

“Mr Njoroge has battled blood cancer for more than 10 years. He has finished the race as a fighter who refused to give up,” Kiengei wrote.
